According to Cole, the Jets have also expressed interest in Foles. However, you have to wonder whether they are really a serious option now that they’ve re-signed Ryan Fitzpatrick to a one-year, $12 million deal.

It appears as though the market for Foles could be up quite a bit over the next few days.

The Rams wound up cutting Foles loose on Wednesday after he reportedly requested to be released.

Foles, 27, is a former third-round pick of the Eagles back in 2012. After three years in Philadelphia, Foles was sent to the Rams in a trade from the Eagles that shipped Sam Bradford to Philadelphia. He had one year remaining on his rookie contract when the Rams signed him to a two-year, $24 million extension back in August of last year.

In 2015, Foles completed 56.4 percent of his passes for 2,052 yards, seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 36 quarterback out of 37 qualifying players.
